Turns out I bake when I am anxious and usually I am anxious on Sunday nights before my work week. Tonight’s anxiety baking experiment was coffee cake! These were super quick to prep and bake and are easy snacks to take on the go! Here’s what you need:

Sometimes messing up your recipe is for the better! I was attempting to make a simple mug cake here but I did not cook it for long enough so I ended up with a cake like crust and a warm oatmeal center. Instead of continuing to cook the mug cake I just ate it as is and it was quite delicious! Yes I am sometimes that lazy. I used 2 egg whites, 1/2 cup oats, 3/4 scoop protein powder, 1 packet stevia, a splash of water, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. I mixed everything together in a microwave safe mug and placed in the microwave for about 1 minute. I topped with 1 tbs of Walden Farms syrup before eating! The cake is just under 300 calories 3g Fat/ 29g Carbohydrates/ 34g Protein. Makes for a great post-workout meal!
